Modern Manners: An Etiquette Book for Rude People

Rating:
Summary: The best guide I've ever come across
Review: Fantastic book, very funny. I was a bit annoyed this edition cut down the picture at the front of the book, which were the funniest parts of the original edition (hence four stars and not five), but nevertheless a very good read.

Rating:
Summary: Not his best
Review: I am a big PJ fan but this was disappointing with a serious lack of content. Start with his best works, Holidays in Hell and Parliament of Whores; then if you really want more work you're way down to this.

Summary: Modern Manners: An Etiquette Book for Rude People
Review: Modern Manners: An Etiquette Book for Rude People written by P.J. O'Rourke is a humorus book. A book the will get you laughing and you will not spot till the end.

This is some of O'Rourke's early musings, but neverthless, it is a very funny, tongue-in-cheek way to spoof manners. As with most if not all of O'Rourke's writings you read it for the levity, flippancy, and jocularity, well you will NOT be disappointed.

Read this book if you want to get away from the serious side of life. As the frivolity takes hold, you'll find that you are more relazed after a really good chuckle.
